    prime henry for arsenal anyone?

    much prefer the term talisman myself, to call any player a God is ridiculous - they all make mistakes, some more costly than others

    other notable mentions to
    cantona, i hold Schmeichel somewhere in those regards, zidane... the list goes on

    As is that little Spanish fella who plays in midfield for Barca. You know, the one who wears number 6 and never gives the ball away.

    whoever are you refering to Xavi6... ive no idea honestly;)

    He was ridiculously, insanely good, I have never enjoyed watching a player as much as I did Zidane and probably never will...

    That first half against Brazil, a week before his retirement, he was god...

    Also when he dinked a penalty over the best keeper in the world in a World Cup Final he was God.

    Ian Wright

    Arsenal fans still sing his name.

    Raul for Real Madrid.

    Lots of pale imitators, Gerrard, Le Tiss etc...

    There is only one God in world football at the moment, the rest are just wannabes. He plays in Milan and goes by the name of Maldini. The only other that came close retired with a red card in the WC final. What a way to go!!!

    Of those still playing, probably Maldini is the only one who could justify a title as extreme as 'God'.

    The reason I picked Cantona for United over the likes of Keane, Robson, Law, Charlton or Best was because despite his relatively short time there, he just embodied everything about the club - a cocky, confident, skillful and dominant player/club you'd love to hate if they werent so damn good - while simultaneously propelling it to the level its reached today. Christ, I ****ing love Eric Cantona.

    Not to mention delusions of grandure. Personally I found him over rated and completely found out when playing at the top level (international and european comp). Personally it saddens me when I see united fans proclaiming him as the greatest in the clubs history. Makes a mockery of the memories of Best, Charlton, Edwards etc....

    Then again if your too young to remember those then fair game really but Keane was a much better servent and asset to United.

    Ah, I'd say Totti and Raul would run him close especially when considering how tough the competition is at Milan. Baresi would certainly rival Maldini for one

    Acording to an Arsenal supporting friend of mine, Bergkamp is GOD even if he didn't get "Goals on Demand"!
